John said, “I’m a voice crying out in the desert, ‘Make the way for the Lord straight,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.” John saw Jesus coming toward him the next day and said, “Look! This is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. He is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘A man who comes after me was before me because he existed before I did.’ John said, “I saw the Spirit come down as a dove from heaven and stay on him. I have seen this and have declared that this is the Son of God.” (John 1:23, 29, 30, 32, 34 GWT)
